The city of Burbank, California took extreme measures to force a local restaurant to close its doors. On Friday, a judge ruled the city could cut the power to the Tinhorn Flats Saloon and Grill because they continued to offer outdoor dining in defiance of a court order to shut down.

The restaurant’s attorney argued the city was shutting down a business and stripping its owners of their livelihood without sufficient notice. The city had revoked the bar’s health and conditional use permit as well.

The co-owners said this was just an example of government overreach.

“It’s completely unconstitutional because this is not against the law to operate your business as you wish,” Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill co-owner Lucas Lepejian said. “But it is going against a silly mandate with no scientific proof.”

The city has called the Tinhorn a nuisance. Another hearing was scheduled for March 26 to decide whether or not the temporary restraining order against the restaurant will be extended.
